Users review: Plain and simple, this is one of the best movies ever made family. The fact that someone other than Disney made the movie seems to have blinded some experts (eg Disney scholar and film critic Leonard Maltin) for its many attractions. For Chitty, actually originated in the book of James Bond creator Ian Fleming, and horror of horrors, was produced outside of Hollywood by Albert Broccoli, the man behind the success of the Bond films. But look more closely at the credits reveals the presence of the same musical composers, the much talked about Sherman Brothers and Irwin Ko? Tal, who could do no wrong when they wrote for Disney, but somehow put his talents behind when they signed with Mr. Broccoli. (Note Maltin comment in his 2007 movie guide movie score is forgettable.) The same apparently happened with choreographers Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood, who is universally recognized for his work on Mary Poppins, but ignored, at least by Maltin , to irritable and often routinely processed in Chitty. In fact, songs, background music and the dances here are as good or better than anything Disney and often even advance the plot, rather than grinding to a halt in the usual way. An example of this is the song Caractacus Old bamboo and dance routine, which not only gives an instantly memorable song (and dance), but also the financial means to save Chitty from the scrap heap. The actors themselves are nothing short of amazing, with the American comic actor Dick Van Dyke wisely avoiding any attempt at an English accent, something that many of us wish he had done a few years earlier Poppins. (In a 1998 appearance on the Rosie O'Donnell show, the retiring Van Dyke recognized its limit in the range of English accents.) The actors playing the kids is a real joy, charming and sincere without being cloying, and baa, king cast is full of other wonderful actors British characters than you can count, not the least of which is Lionel Jeffries (actually six months younger than Van Dyke, whose father played) and comedy legend Benny Hill a rare straight role. And if that were not enough, there is always a scene where Goldfinger himself (German actor Gert Fröbe) sings and dances! Then it is simply incredible photography Christopher Challis, stunning costumes by Joan Bridge and Elizabeth Haffenden and breathtaking production design by Oscar-winning designer Ken Adam, whose high ceilings and sloping walls are immediately identifiable from such classics as Goldfinger and Dr.. Strangelove. And unlike Poppins, who is inexplicably praised for its obvious recreations of studio streets of London, this film is actually going on site - and then some, really shows the beautiful setting in the south of England, France and Germany (including the fabulous fairytale castle of Neuschwanstein). Maltin and others have complained of movie special effects, calling shoddiest ever. What we talk about is the blue screen traveling matte shots where the car was magical optically positioned in front of the cinema separately shot with the sky as background. And I agree that many of these images turn out to film students know how they are achieved. But, once again, to look at what is neglected. The car itself, which undergoes several conversions for air and sea travel, a fantastic mechanical special effects designed and constructed by John Stears. Stear, of course, won an Oscar for SFX on Thunderball and would go on to win another for a little movie called Star Wars. But no matter, what he could learn about the special effects? Oh, I said that the screenplay was co-written by Roald Dahl, someone just might know a thing or two about children's stories. But enough. This movie is really lost from the first frame to the last, a timeless joy for a while ', but critics Hollywood film.
